Norwegian Storting Election 2009

[Filuwaúrdjan]

So far, Labour lead in all counties (think that's the right translation) except for Vest-Agder.

Looks like it. Not that is says anything about the general strength of the blocks.

No, but it will make for a very pretty map indeed

Btw, why've SV done so badly? Or at least, why so badly in the way they've done - seem to have lost votes to Labour.

[Kevinstat]

Current result 407 of 430 municipals (and change from 2005)
Ap: 64 (+3)
Sp: 11 (-4)
SV: 11 (n/c)

H: 31 (+8)
V: 2 (-8)
Frp: 40 (+2)
Krf: 10 (-1)

R: 0 (n/c)

Ap, Sp & SV: 86 (-1)
H, V, Krf & Frp: 83 (+1)

Venstre at 3.9% of the vote.  Any analysis of how Venstre-friendly the remaining 25 polls are, collectively?

Jens Stoltenberg the Ap prime minister is very popular, and has stolen some SV votes and the time in government has not been perfect for SV. Some inexperienced ministers has also given some bad publicity.

I knew the first bit, guessed the second, but didn't know the third. Makes sense now.

It isn't that bad. First time in government is bound to give some trouble - I'm quite confident that SV will do much better the next 4 years with much more experienced ministers and rising environmental concerns.

Not very likely that Venstre will make it - they lost heavily in their core areas

And why the collapse of V again?

Classic problem of a small centre party caught between the two major blocks. Sponheim tried to run on a hardcore "keep Frp away from influence" and lost on it

As tight as can be for the red-green coalition...

Current result 410 of 430 municipals (and change from 2005)

Ap: 63 (+2)
Sp: 11 (-4)
SV: 11 (n/c)

H: 31 (+8)
V: 2 (-8)
Frp: 41 (+3)
Krf: 10 (-1)

R: 0 (n/c)

Ap, Sp & SV: 85 (-2)
H, V, Krf & Frp: 84 (+2)

It's very close, but Høyre is hanging on to the most marginal mandates (5 or 6). It is more likely that they will lose a mandate or 2 than Ap will lose one more

The most recent results seem to bear that out:

[Kevinstat]

Same seat allocation as above with 425 of 430 municipals in.  Venstre down to 3.8% so definitely just the provincial seats for them (and I imagine they are solidly at 2 of those at this point in the count).

Narrow, narrow, narrow majority. Can it last?

Yes, it can. Party discipline actually exists in Norway unlike the US

I suppose it's useful in parliamentary systems where the government depends on a majority.

Aside from that, I dislike "party discipline", as I connect the word with "party power". I prefer the way the U.S. Senate works in that regard.

You mean selfishly thinking about getting reelected and completely ignoring what might be best for the country

I sure as hell wouldn't want party leaders shoving their agenda through the Senate with the power to penalize senators that don't play along.

Best towns:

Labour: Årdal (70.2%) - industrial city dominated by the aluminum industry. Hasvik, a isolated fishing island in the far north was Labour's second best, with a distant 57.3% of the vote for the party there.
Progress: Farsund (39.8%) - a coastal municipality in very conservative Vest-Agder, with, it seems, a growing tourist industry. Not extremely affluent, though. Karmøy, a rural coastal village in the Rogaland, part of the Bible Belt, is a close second at 36.7%.
Conservative: Bærum (35.4%) - very affluent (if not the most affluent in Norway) and posh suburb of Oslo.
Socialist Left: Nesseby (16.9%) - Sami town in Finnmark, Norway's northernmost county. It's also close to a now-closed iron ore mine.
Centre: Gloppen (46.8%) - rural municipality in the Fjords.
Christian Democrats: Audnedal (31.7%) - rural municipality in conservative Vest-Agder, Norway's Bible Belt.
Liberal: Ulvik (15%) - tourist town deep in the Fjords.
Red: Vågsøy (4.7%) - tourist and also major fishing town in the Fjords, town won by Progress. Oslo itself, at 4%, is a close second.

How many parties won municipalities?
